Rita runs a nursery school for 130+ kids, ages 1-5. Well, she had 130 last year and is waiting to see what this year will bring. She has a hard time saying no to the parents who desperately need to work and need a safe place for their children during the day. We visited yesterday, and school isn’t in session yet but we were excited to see how well the fruit trees and veggies are doing. Rita is holding green peppers and those are dried red beans in the foreground, waiting to be shelled. An inga’s, or ice cream bean tree’s, branches are on the left in the photo. Roy and Zweli planted that tree and others about two years ago. The kids will soon be eating fruit along with the veggies!
Rita is standing next to a malabar chestnut tree that the visiting British special needs team planted just 2 months ago. It has already doubled in size. We are blessed to be able to bring healthy food and the good news to friends like this!
